Dear Little Café

Lyrics

(Verse 1) [CARL] We share a mutual ambition Which naught can disarrange [SARI] Based on the hopeful supposition That soon our luck will change [CARL] Though we very often wonder whether Poverty will win the day [SARI] Just as long as we remain together Troubles seem to fade away (Chorus 1) [BOTH] However hard the bed one lies on The same old dreams begin We're always scanning the horizon For when our ship comes in We'll have a sweet little café In a neat little square We'll find our fortune And our happiness there [CARL] We shall thrive on the vain and resplendent [SARI] And contrive to remain independent [CARL] We'll have a meek reputation And a chic clientele [SARI] Kings will fall under our spell [BOTH] We'll be so zealous That the world will be jealous Of our sweet little café in a square (Verse 2) [SARI] Can you imagine our sensations When we've security? [CARL] And all our dreary deprivations Are just a memory [SARI] Though we're very often driven frantic Peace is very hard to find [CARL] All these dreary days will seem romantic When we've left them far behind (Chorus 2) [BOTH] Fate needn't be quite such a dragon He knows how tired we are We'll hitch our hopeful little wagon Onto a lucky star [CARL] We'll have a sweet little café In a neat little square [SARI] We'll find our fortune And our happiness there [CARL] We shall thrive on the vain and resplendent [SARI] And contrive to remain independent [CARL] We'll have a meek reputation And a chic clientele [SARI] Kings will fall under our spell [BOTH] We'll be so zealous That the world will be jealous Of our sweet little café in a square
